Horror that’s worth diving into

And keep fit with game that hits target

-

I am quite worried about live music. Both for the musicians and artists, and also the venues, festivals, bookers, promoters, lighting guys, sound-people, riggers, stage crews and more. Music-lovers and fans really need to support artists, events while the workouts recommend a full body stretch before and after, it’s easy to think you can go right ahead and have a go, which you can.

But be aware, it’s pretty addictive stuff and so easy to get lost in what you’re doing that you’ll soon wish you’d done that warm up after all.

If you stick to your

Yeah, we all loved Massive Attack and Portishead. I think there’s some Bob Marley in there, due to Philly’s husky vocals, and some classic songwritin­g such as The Beatles.

With what’s going on in society, as people use their own voices more in politics and online, he said “Check the Masses”, which became Check Masses. Nightlife can be downloaded and streamed now.

The game software estimates your calorie burn and also your BMI, which can be hit or miss with different people.

I used it along with my iWatch and noticed a good 300-400 calorie burn while doing the workout which lasted about 25 minutes.

Like a good boxer, the game hits the spot and keeps you more active than you’d expect.

THE death of singersong­writer Dr John last June at 77 brought to an end one of most colourful careers in modern American music.

The New Orleans legend, aka Malcolm “Mac” John Rebbenack, had been a six-times Grammy winner.

The piano playing whizz’s “doctorate” was earned from studying Louisiana grooves in his native city’s notorious nightclubs.

As well as collaborat­ing with such luminaries as Van Morrison, The Rolling Stones, Rickie Lee Jones and Brit rockers Spirituali­zed, the good Doc amassed his own enviable legacy.

This week, Ske Dat De Dat: The Spirit of Satch – his 2014 tribute to fellow Crescent City musical revolution­ary Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong – is given a commemorat­ive reissue.

Trombonist Sarah Morrow, Mac’s creative partner, said: “When he was a child, every day his dad would drive by the house where Satchmo was born and point it out to little Mac.

“Louis Armstrong was an inspiratio­n to his father and to everyone in the community – the possibilit­y of achieving great things.”

Sarah was musical arranger when Ske Dat

De Dat was recorded. Having worked with Ray Charles, she gave Mac a copy of her album Elektric Air in 2008. “Around midnight that same day he called and said, ‘You’re a bad muthaf **** r and I wanna work with yo ass’.

“Getting to know him, and working as closely as we did, was one of the craziest, most beautiful and honourable, yet bizarre experience­s of my life.”

Though Sarah says Mac was a voodoo priest who practised rituals, prayers and candle burning at recording sessions, he resisted adding elements that characteri­sed his early incarnatio­n as the Voodoo amuletdisp­ensing “Nitetrippe­r” at his live shows. Sarah said: “It was too connected to his days of heroin abuse.

“He had been clean for 20-something years at that point but confided it was a demon he faced every day, no matter how long he had been clean.”

Dr John told Sarah that Satchmo had come to him in a dream and told him to do his music, in his own way.

She said: “Mac was a big dream voyager – he would frequently visit me in my dreams and still does.

“He also saw spirits in this world pretty much wherever we went.” Ske Dat De Dat is out today
